Scope and Contents Schlichter is convinced that he is preparing for his true vocation. Hudson is correct in saying that we cannot judge our neighbors intentions. If people were mistaken in Schlichter's behalf, there is reason to believe they acted in good faith. It was God who directed Schlichter's life for the past 12 years and not his creatures. He has had many trials and difficulties since leaving Notre Dame, which probably arose from his own conduct but he is doing his best to amend. Schlichter is...

Concerning the controversy between Jessing and a bogus community of Franciscan Brothers, whom Hudson was inclined to favor, Schlichter...

Scope and Contents Schlichter expects to complete his second year of theology in his studies for the priesthood at St. Vincent's Seminary, Beatty, Pennsylvania.

Scope and Contents For a long time the Germans of East Saginaw have wished to see the bishop in their midst to discuss an important piece of business. There are many Germans in this parish who would like to hear the Word of God in their mother tongue to keep the spark of Faith alive, which without preaching easily disappears. Many Germans have already fallen away and more will be separated if this lack is not remedied. Therefore the undersigned Germans wish to have a German priest and are willing to support...

Scope and Contents Canon Schmid thanks Father Rese for the letter. Schmid is very happy that Rese is doing the work of a good shepherd and is following the example of St. Paul and St. Francis Xavier. His reward has already been great by the excellent result of his labors, but ineffably great will be his reward in heaven. When the present Pope was so happily chosen, Schmid thought of Rese because God has fulfilled one of his greatest wishes. The Archduke and Cardinal Rudolph died a sudden, but yet not...

Father Schmittgen sends McMaster a copy of the summary of Indulgences and also some preliminary remarks concerning the Arch-confraternity of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in order to show him that it is favored by the Holy See. Schmittgen asks McMaster to prepare a few articles from the book he left him in New York, and he would especially like to see in print. Father California, Connecticut and Ireland. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Schneider writes a letter to the editor in which he calls McMaster's attention to an article in the "Christian Nation", Aug. 25 1886 which asserts that Catholics cannot boast that they have an unbroken line of succession from St. Peter, since there were long intervals when there was no Pope. Schneider has neither time nor patience to consider the article at length, but cannot see how any sane and sincere person can take refuge in such sophistry. The Catholic Church alone has the...

Scope and Contents Because the American steamer left two days earlier, Father Schneider received no mail at this date. Father Braak asked him if he received the Journal, but the answer was negative. As there is no Catholic newspaper among the islands, a request is made for ten copies of the Journal to be sent to Miss Joanna Lindsay, Catholic Bookstore, St. Thomas, W.I., payment to be made by having the Father Provincial of the Redemptorists send as many intentions as would make up the bill, or if that...

Scope and Contents Schneider believes McMaster to be incorrect in the published assertion that a marriage wherein the parties have one eye to the law and accept the possibility of a divorce, is not valid. A little reading in the notes of the learned John Bellerini, as contained in the last edition of Gury, published in Rome in the year 1875, No. 752, de Matrimonio, would convince McMaster that he is wrong. Schneider proposes this reading so that McMaster can be sure of his points if he is ever tackled on...

Scope and Contents Schneller informs Timon of his nomination as coadjutor to the Bishop of New York. Timon's name was the first of three on the list.

If Timon has not received the books, he is to write to...
